Chapter 642 Must be handed in
There was a sound of footsteps, Xia Wei walked over quickly and looked at Zhang Ran, "Come and help carry the body into the trunk." The person was dead and the body was very heavy, she couldn't carry it by herself.
Zhang Ran rummaged around in the house and found a sack, took it to the backyard, helped put the body into the sack, and then carried it into the trunk. This car was driven by Xia Wei.
After the two returned to the house, Mu Mingqi instructed Xia Wei: "Hand the body over to the police and find out his identity." For both public and private reasons, he had to find out the origins of this group of mercenaries and find out their true purpose.
Xia Wei frowned slightly: "Why is the body not wearing a shirt? Where is his gun?"
Mu Mingqi's gaze fell on Zhang Ran.
Xia Wei followed his gaze and looked at Zhang Ran: "...it is illegal to privately possess a gun. Hand it over."
"I didn't see it." Zhang Ran played dumb, "Maybe I lost it when I was chasing Mu Mingqi."
Xia Wei was speechless: "Why do you keep the gun?"
"Self-defense." Zhang Ran said bluntly, "I was kidnapped a few days ago and just escaped yesterday."
Xia Wei was stunned for a moment: "...You are the college entrance examination candidate who was kidnapped by robbers on the street?" This incident caused a big fuss, so naturally she heard about it.
Zhang Ran: “Yeah.”
Xia Wei: "...You can't hide guns privately, you should hand them over. We can use the guns to track down the other party's origins and identities more quickly."
Mu Mingqi glanced at Zhang Ran suggestively: I told you she’s not easy to fool.
Seeing that Zhang Ran was unmoved, Xia Wei immediately started searching everywhere and soon found the cabinet where Zhang Ran had hidden his things.
After much bargaining, Xia Wei finally allowed Zhang Ran to keep only the bulletproof vest and night vision goggles, but he had to hand over the gun.
Mu Mingqi gave a brief account of what had happened.
Luo Yaozu, Zhang Ran's younger brother, planned a kidnapping in the street.
He wanted to let Zhang Ran go back, but Luo Yaozu threatened him with his undercover identity. Before he could figure out a way to deal with Luo Yaozu, a group of mercenaries of unknown origin suddenly appeared and killed the other robbers.
When passing through a bamboo forest, Ah Wei learned that the mercenaries came for Luo Yaozu's heirloom, so he reached out to snatch it.
When Luo Yaozu refused to give it to him, he took out a fruit knife and killed Luo Yaozu.
A Wei wanted to kill him and Zhang Ran, so he killed A Wei instead, continued to flee with Zhang Ran, sent her back to the police station, and faced the mercenaries' pursuit alone.
He killed one of them but was shot by the other.
I escaped here and accidentally found a nail gun and killed the remaining one.
Xia Wei immediately realized that Mu Mingqi was lying.
It was obvious that the nails on the corpse were Zhang Ran's doing.
Whether in public or private, Zhang Ran was taught by her, and she also saved Mu Mingqi's life. The killing of the mercenary can only be blamed on Mu Mingqi.
He was an undercover policeman and he could have just informed his superiors afterwards. But if it was put on Zhang Ran, a high school student killing a mercenary with a nail gun, the matter would be serious and she would definitely be investigated strictly by the police.
By then, even she would be implicated. After all, it was she who taught Zhang Ran how to shoot and asked her to practice with a nail gun at home when she had nothing to do.
Xia Wei turned her head and looked at Zhang Ran: "Why did your brother kidnap you?"
"My brother was in prison when my grandmother died. She passed the heirloom to me. When my brother was released from prison, he wanted to steal it, so he colluded with others to kidnap me." Zhang Ran explained in a few words. "After he got it, he looked for people to sell it to, which attracted the killer."
"What heirloom?" Xia Wei pondered. If it was for money, it would make sense.
"A pendant." Zhang Ran described the features of the pendant, omitting the most important information, the word 'Huo'.
